There and Back Again

Part One consists of stories and lessons I have learned during the past twenty years of short-term mission work. It deals with the importance of team dynamics, spiritual warfare, physical and emotional challenges, kingdom purpose, and more. Part Two is a thirty-day devotional that will guide you through the Bible prior to your mission trip. It will help prepare you spiritually for any obstacles you may encounter and will encourage you to rely on the leading of the Holy Spirit. Part Three is a thirty-day devotional that you will begin when you return home. It is designed to help you recognize and manage the many emotions you will experience as you strive to reacclimate to life at home. There will be pressure to conform, as well as discouragement from an apathetic culture that many of you will not expect. These devotionals will remind you that you are not alone and that God is more concerned with your obedience than with the reactions of others.
